Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

After a week of fermentation, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" reached an extremely astonishing and terrifying level, reaching a staggering $23 billion!
This number is already terrifying!
I wonder how many of the top ten highest-grossing films in history didn't even reach these figures when they were first released.

In the European and American markets, this film demonstrated unparalleled market dominance, and the magic genre once again unleashed its unique charm in its most suitable environment.

These days, wherever you go on the internet, there are topics related to "Harry Potter".

After all, this story is indeed memorable, especially for some people who are already a bit immature, it's hard to resist.

Countless people fantasize about what it would be like if they were chosen to enter Hogwarts someday.

They would rather admit they are Muggles than admit the wizarding world and Hogwarts are fake.

What's even more outrageous is that quite a few people actually went to the platform at King's Cross station in London to take photos, and some even went so far as to rush up and crash into the hard, cold wall.

This delighted the station officials, who cordoned off the platform overnight and marked it with the sign for Platform 9 3/4, turning it into a popular spot for taking photos and even a tourist attraction, encouraging visitors to check it out.

Of course, many tourists actually found the castle where the photos were taken and went to check it out.

However, the castle was obviously closed at this time, and they could not go in. Naturally, they could only stare at it from the outside, able to see it but not play with it.

This has led many tourists to publicly request online that the castle be opened to the public when not being photographed, and thus be treated as a tourist attraction.

It's fair to say that this movie, or rather the IP itself, directly demonstrates its unique and remarkable monetization capabilities and staying power, setting it apart from other IPs.

Not long after, some manufacturers approached Heye, saying they wanted to discuss whether they could take on IP-related peripheral development business.

For example, officially licensed wands, Hogwarts uniforms, or spellbooks, textbooks, flying brooms, and so on.

It has to be said that, given the current popularity of this IP in Europe and America, it's really something that can be done.

Moreover, even if Heye doesn't do it or grant authorization, it won't stop it, because piracy is bound to occur.

Rather than letting pirates make money off it, it's better to earn it yourself.

After all, Tang Ying has now achieved her wish and made money through the Harry Potter series.

Yes, the money has been made!
For Tang Ying now, her life is complete and she has no regrets.

After all, what was the point of all that trouble she was causing?
In the early stages, it was about losing money, but also about achieving clarity of thought.

Later on, after suffering a huge loss, he wanted to prove his ability and show that he wasn't actually rated one star, but that the system had given him the wrong rating.

She is a complete business genius.

So she wants to make money!

But after all this time, I still haven't been able to achieve my wish.

This is very embarrassing.

When you want to lose money, it's hard to lose; you can't seem to get the money.

But you want to make money, yet you can't.

But now, all of that is gone forever.

It doesn't matter how the system rates her; just tell me whether Heye is the biggest film and television company in Hanxia right now!
It has evolved beyond a film and television company into a large industrial group.

Although it still can't catch up with its parent company, Sheng Tang International, it's not far behind. At least it's a company that can be listed among the Fortune Global 500.

It's only a difference of over four hundred places.

Is this what you call a gap?
This is nothing compared to what's going on. Tang Ying just doesn't want to make a move.

If she wanted to make a move, break this balance, and catch up with this data, wouldn't it be as easy as having a hand? Would it be difficult at all?

nonexistent.

And this is only the performance of IP in the European and American markets.

In Hanxia?
That's even more outrageous.

After its release, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" remained at the top of the box office.

It can be said that it is far ahead of the competition, and the second place cannot even catch up with it.

At this point, some people might ask, what about Yu Si's "Child of Magic"? Where did it go?

Before its release, wasn't Yu Si's film exactly what he called his masterpiece that could rival Xia Yuan's?
Could it be that Xia Yuan has once again pinned him to second place on the list, preventing him from moving forward?

On the contrary, the second highest-grossing film was not Yu Si's "The Child of Magic".

Instead, it's another realistic historical film produced by Heye, directed by a well-known director under Heye's umbrella.

As for Yu Temple?

He's in eighth place.

After a week of release, the box office only reached over 20 million yuan on the first day.

Over the remaining days, the number of cases decreased day by day, especially starting from the second day, which saw a precipitous drop with the data plummeting.

Like all of Yu Si's previous films, this movie shares a common flaw: it received terrible reviews.
On its opening day, the ratings plummeted dramatically.

It even had a rating on Douban that once dropped below 3.1.

They were just a hair's breadth away from entering the two-point zone.

It was thanks to the unprecedented unity of Yu Si's fans that the score was stabilized at 3.1 and did not continue to drop.

Numerous reviews of the film have circulated on various video platforms.

"This is truly the worst movie I've ever seen, bar none. Seriously, it was such a waste of such a perfect subject matter. This subject matter should have been handled much better."

"Just look at Xia Yuan, how did he film the same subject matter?"

"Seriously, I've found that a significant number of filmmakers in China, if you ask them to leave the topic of romance, they probably really don't know how to make movies or TV series. There are some things they genuinely don't realize how cringeworthy their work is."

"This is all you're trying to do, and you're even arguing with Xia Yuan? You're just overestimating yourself. I wouldn't believe you if you said you didn't copy it. Xia Yuan is really pathetic. He was clearly copied and disgusted like this, but the other party won't admit it and is just being unreasonable."

"This is truly a complete loss of face. I really can't understand how you could make a romance film that disgusts both male and female viewers at the same time? Yu Si, is your aesthetic sense really questionable? Do you think your male lead is handsome? To me, he looks no different from someone from Nantong, okay?"

Yu Si's reputation has plummeted, but this has nothing to do with Xia Yuan.

Because he didn't really care about Yu Si, and he didn't even mention anything about rhythm or anything like that.

Now, there is another very important thing waiting for him to do.

That is, he needs to go back to school. (End of Chapter)
